Apparel built by veterans, scaling U.S. manufacturing with precision, pride, and purpose.

• Veteran-led mission: Founded by a Bronze Star recipient and supported by military-rooted leadership.
• Vertically integrated: In-house design, printing, fulfillment, and rapid product deployment.
• Retail expansion: Funding 8 new store openings in proven high-traffic markets.
• Patented innovation: Licensing and scaling of proprietary Tailgater Hoodie line.
• Made in USA: Committed to domestic manufacturing with plans for factory expansion.

Nine Line Apparel is raising capital to expand its veteran-led, American-made lifestyle brand through enhanced manufacturing, retail growth, and product licensing. The company operates a vertically integrated model, offering in-house design, printing, embroidery, and fulfillment that enables rapid deployment of new SKUs and just-in-time production. The brand has cultivated deep loyalty among patriotic consumers and has secured partnerships with major retailers and brands like Black Rifle Coffee.

Proceeds from this offering will fund the addition of Direct-To-Garment (DTG) machines expected to double output and generate ~$1.6M in high-margin inventory annually. Additional capital will support opening 8 new retail stores across high-traffic regions, and accelerate licensing and production of patented products like the Tailgater Hoodie. With revenue of $39.8M in 2024 and a track record of scalability and operational efficiency, Nine Line is building on its mission to revive U.S. manufacturing and serve as a proud symbol of service-driven entrepreneurship.
